I like sugar. I like sugar a lot. I like it on my cereal. I like it on my oatmeal. I like it in my coffee. I like it baked into stuff. I like it not baked into stuff. What I don’t like is how it makes me want to eat more. How one cookie becomes 3. How one piece of cake becomes 6 (yes…6). How, … [Read more…]
